Many of you have valued the opportunity to read and discuss a book during Lent so I invite you to join this year’s Reading Group. After much research I hope I have found an interesting and engaging book. ‘The Middle Eastern Jesus’ is written by Nadim Nassar, a Syrian Anglican priest now living in the UK. He will lead us through the gospels from the culture of the Middle East both at the time of Jesus and now. I have been excited by the insights of this book and that bodes well! Believe me, I swerved past a few books I considered either hard work or just boring.
**Could you let me know if you are interested in joining the Lent Group asap so that I can order in some books. They cost £16.99 each so rather than the Church meeting the full cost can I suggest a voluntary donation of say £5 towards the cost.
